Dear Sir,

[REDACTED] up in the [guess: hills] mentions about twenty miles west of Reno, Nevada when I [guess: saw] something [guess: or was] [guess: tucked] [guess: up] under a log, I [guess: reached] in and pulled out a section of a para- chute (actually [guess: seven] sections) that had been rolled up into a tight ball and [guess: hidden]. [guess: There], I don't know any thing about parachutes but I will describe it the best that I can. It was twisted [guess: from] end to end [guess: just] like someone had tied to [illegible] wring it out and then they [guess: rolled] it [guess: up in] a ball and hid it. [guess: I wonder] that log, and [illegible] [illegible] [guess: or] [guess: caved] or just rot [guess: have] eating off
